The job server is used when multiple make processes are involved so that 
the total number
of jobs run by all make process does not exceed the specified job 
count.  This is therefore
only relevant to recursive make invocations.  GNU make does currently 
support multiple
jobs within a single make process (which your test case demonstrates).

Thanks Troy, I look forward to being able to use this functionality on 
Windows!
